Following months of teasers, Porsche has announced the highly anticipated Taycan will be unveiled on September 4th at 3 p.m. CET (7 p.m. EST).
Since the company has already booked over 30,000 pre-orders, the Taycan will be unveiled simultaneously on three different continents. In particular, there will be events in Canada, China and Berlin, Germany. The company is also promising at least one guest star as Mark Webber will take part in the festivities.
Porsche is keeping detailed specifications under wraps, but the automaker previously confirmed the Taycan will have two electric motors that produce a combined output in excess of 592 hp (441 kW / 600 PS). This will enable the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than 3.5 seconds and travel more than 310 miles (500 km) on a single charge in the New European Driving Cycle.
